    My oh my, Sacha Baron Cohen how you disappoint me! From the borderline genius who brought us one of my all time favorite comedies, Borat, Cohen desperately shits out this utterly despicable crapfest Bruno.

    Baron Cohen's efforts to duplicate his success from B

    ...( read more)orat is cheap and reckless with no shred of originality. Even the name Bruno bares such a resemblance to it's predecessor that it might as well be Borat 2. Borat centered around a harmless and funny tale of a foreign man new to the US... however, this time around, Bruno centers around a gay man new to the US. Baron Cohen stoops to an all new low and stops at nothing to deliver the "shock and awe" effect to his audience. But this time it comes at a cost. In this film, the audience is subjected to grotesque stunts and jokes that should only be on ridiculous MTV shows like Jackass.

    Unlike Borat, this film is a lot more scripted... I'm guessing that's mainly in part to people being aware of the potential prank that is attempted to be played on them. But even the non-scripted scenes aren't as funny this time around. The only genuinely funny parts come from scenes when Bruno adopts a young black boy... and most of these scenes are scripted and the punchlines are in the trailer.

    This is a horrifyingly, grotesque disappointment. Bruno is a complete failure... you have been warned.

    Bruno uses the gravitational pull from same scarce, skeletal plot that Borat did to pull in a bunch of hilarious and often... just plain wrong scenes to make a movie. The bad news is that Bruno doesn't feel like a movie so much as a compilation of scenes from Da Ali G Show. Good ...( read more)news is that Bruno is fucking hysterical. I read a review of Bruno where the author stated that when he wasn't giggling like a 14 year-old he was cringing in terror. If he said awkward terror I'd be in complete and total agreement. If you're homophobic or have no tolerance for flaming gay (as in homosexual, not nonsensical) humor you probably won't enjoy (or get for that matter) Bruno. All I know is after that scene at the psychic's, Sasha Baron Cohen is a complete and total madman. I'd say Bruno is slightly less good than Borat even if the madness was upped. A second viewing helped my appreciation but mostly it just numbed some of the shock.

    I laughed so hard I was crying a couple times. It was pretty gross though. Some parts were just lame, and it was kinda short. I enjoyed it for the most part though.

    A lot better than what peopl have given it credit for. Says A LOT about American Culture, especially their views on homosexuality and especially how far parents with babies would go to get their babies in a page very funny. No wonder two of Cohen's films have had some locations i...( read more)n the US as they seem so gulable.

    It's hard to watch this movie without reading some sort of social commentary into it, and initially, it get's in the way of the comedy. I found myself more occupied with what I thought Sacha Baron Cohen thinks about his "marks", than I was with the jokes. The truth is, this isn...( read more)'t news. It's not a documentary (is it even a mocumentary?). As with Borat, it seems a lot of people are having a hard time getting past the "realness" of the situations. If the people that Bruno interacts with think that Bruno is a real guy, does that make it funnier than if they are all just actors? I think this movie is best enjoyed with all that baggage stripped away. What you're left with is old fashioned, uncomfortable situations, pie-in-the-face comedy. It's not the funniest movie of the year, but come on..."A bear ate all my clothes, except for this condom." That's really funny.
